country store and physician.

During the Fever season of last month
the stock of Ayei-'s Ague Cure in the
Old North State became exhausted, and
before a supply could be received lrom
Lowell, the suffering from chills and fe
ver became fearful. A few parties were
so fortunate as to have it on hand, and
in Iredell county, the druggists eked
out their slender stocks bv selling doses
a spoonful each for a dollar. Many
paid ten dollars for a bottle, when the
regular price is but one, and thought
themselves favored at that, so valuable
are the curative properties of this pre
paration, which not only expels the poi
son from the system, but leaves the pa
tient with unimpaired health and vigor.

Savannah Celebrities.
Savannah! fairest garden of the west!
Thrice happy thou to be so richly blest!
Happy, 1 say, because within you dwell
Peculiar men, unknown since Adam fell!
Of one I wrote, you know, anil so do I,
Who dranl; a well of Slowing water dry;
Hut now we turn our lyre to greater feat
And sing of one who did not drink, but eat!
Historic, sketches sonielim.es make us laugh,
And once "I knew a man who atea calf!"
Hut !hi wasmall and but a single blutl',
Compared with one who never hitd cnouyht
Ask Barbour, Sroule and Shedriek.a.-k them all,
11 e'er they knew a man mi lean anil Jail
Who could within Ihespaccof .single hour,
Destroy more vituals and with speed devour!
The fact is plain, as o'er us sun doth shine,
That never is lie asked by fiend to dine!
His country friends areeven getting scared,
And friends with whom he oil and richly fared,
Their backs have turned (and he is left to roam)
To save being eaten out ofhou.se and home!
A s-uit was Iir.iUulit the other day in court
Against our friend who rather made some sport;
Laughed at the man who wisely tiled the bill;
For u-eless trial his i:iner-mau to till.
The bill ran thus, if memory do-s not fail,
"To well builed mutton, onions, beets and kail,
To roasted beef and good .supply of greens,
To applesauce, fresh bacon and baked beans,
To bread and biscuit, rhubarb pies and cake,
The whole ol which he at one meal did take ! !"
The Court has not as yet an answer given,
And say there'.s no ca.s; like it under Heaven;
Now, since no longer he can get a meal,
A .sympathy for him we can but feel.
.!ut view his body and his sunken eye.
His shortened breath :uid hungry sigh.
His trembling hand and shaking limb,
I ask who could not, would not, pity him?
The Court should grant , ere lite his body leaves,
An order for some meat at Toney Keeves'!
Note The Court has since decided that the
claim was unfounded bi cause of the lean and
hungry look of the debtor. C. C. S.
The Savannah Poet.
Alas! Alas! How we long to be.
An humorous poet like Colin C!
To lie enabled, as well as he,
To invoke the muses of land or sea;
To chronicle incidents in beautiful rhymes,
That occur in our county at different tunes;
To ever be ready todiop a short line,
On the doubling of fees or the sale of swine;
Or to record the progress of a legal swell,
Jtev'almg himself at a nieilic.il well;
Or perchance the mishap of poor neighbor to tell;
Who paid his live dollars to discover a sell.
And how he swore and re-olvcd "in the main,"
To h. 1 ve nothing more to do with a galvanized
chain !
And if any so presumptions would dare to com
plain, We would up with our pen and do it again!
Truth with liction he mo-t beautifully blends,
As he taki sa strong lift at the two bo-om friends!
Their action-, of course he nobly defends,
And promises with a coroner's ollice to make
amends'.
Now who is this poet the public demands,
Who deals aliKc with privates ami oilicial clans,
Who gets an in-itu ii-wof all their plans,
While 1 ini-clf behind the screen so effectually
stands?
His given name is Colin C, as 1 said in begin
ning, He dicovered spiritualism in a lamp he was
trimming,
Hecause the lain) kept receding, like the yarn he
was spinning!
While Stiles sat.on the counter, and kept up a
grinning,
Finally, "Pap" says to Colin, does'ntthis
plainly show it,
You're a Scotchman by birth, you must be a
poet,
Kven his stir name is poetical, :t ends with a
ville,
He's now deputy oQiciaJ ar.tl chief of t lie quill.

Tut: Howk Sewing Machine. The
following, which we take from the Lon
don Courier, England, is conclusive ev
idence of the superiority of this perfect
Sewing Machine :
"Among the many who have been the
recipient of medals and honors at the
Exhibition at Paris, none stand so high
on the list as th-. celebrated inventor
ami manufacturer of sewing machines,
Elias Howe, Jr. The Emperor, Avho
shows groat tact and discrimination in
these matters, has made Mr. Howe a.
Knight of the Legion of Honor, and the
! jury on Sewing Machines wlio had the
task of testing and awarding prizes for
excellence, unanimously decided that
Mr. Howe was not only entitled to great
honors as the inventor of the Sewing
Machino, but that he carried oil' the
palm as a manulaclurev as well, and to
him was awarded, accordingly, the first
of the only two gold medals assigned to
this class.
The number who have called on Mr.
Howe, at his-ollice, G-l Iicgent street, to
offer their congratulations, prove that
many besides Hie Emperor and the jury
acknowledge the justice of the claim.1'
